Hi, I'm Smita
I am a Product Designer in the San Francisco Bay Area, specializing in AI-driven SaaS interfaces that prioritize user experience through data-driven design methodologies.
​
My experience includes roles as a Senior Product Designer at Spanning Labs and Founding Product Designer at Pelanor Health and Levo.ai. Throughout these positions, I honed my skills in user research, intuitive design, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration.
​
I hold an MBA in Marketing and certifications in UX Design and Human-Computer Interaction, which enhance my design approach. I am passionate about continuous learning and leveraging emerging trends to drive meaningful change. Currently, I am pursuing an AI developer certification to deepen my understanding of AI's role in product design.
​
Beyond work, I express my creativity through pottery, cake artistry, painting, and sketching. I’m also dedicated to giving back through volunteering and participating in social impact projects.
